So UPS has screwed me over, and it's set for Monday delivery. They can't even change it to customer pickup at the facility. I have a bad feeling my PS4 delivery odyssey isn't going to be over Monday either...

That blows, sorry to hear man! Have you contacted Amazon to see if they can compensate you in some way?

So got mine yesterday from Amazon, and plugged it up last night. Everything is pretty and awesome, and then I update to 1.50.....

now it won't give me video or audio unless I go into Safe Boot and reboot it again from there. It's not a hardware issue that I can tell, because it works once it goes to Safe Boot. I haven't re-initialized the system yet, but I may. I'm thinking this 1.50 firmware update has issues.

I seeing increasingly large numbers of people on various websites experiencing a "blue light of death" with their new PS4 units. Some go bad after a few hours of play, others are bad right out of the box:

If you have two controllers, can you plug headphones into both of them and use that for audio when watching a movie? If the wife and I can do that instead of buying two expensive wireless headphones, that would be fantastic.

Do you want this so your kid can sleep? Do you guys use a noise maker?

We do use white noise for the kids, but with our house layout there aren't a lot of doors to close between living room and kid rooms, so even with the white noise we have to keep the volume fairly low for evening movie watching, or use a goofy array of headphone extension cords.

I'm sure the headset is probably quite crap but being able to use pretty much any headset or earphones you have lying around should take the sting out of it a bit.

The problem is that most headsets have separate plugs for audio and mic. I can use my regular headphones to plug into my controller for sound, but the darn thing has a separate connector for the mic so I can't use them to receive and send audio.

If it was not regular shipping option where they have a window of days to get there, but something like 2 day then they should refund the shipping charge back for failing to deliver it.

To clarify, you're saying I can plug any headset into the controller, turn my receiver down and hear all game sound through the headset? That is fantastic news. Playing AC4 last night and hearing the f bomb dropped a few times concerned me a bit (6 and 3 year olds in the house).

A friend of mine left me a text with a very similar problem. system worked fine, updated to 1.50, and now his system is apparently dead. He can't even get into safe mode. He waited outside all night before the release, so I feel really bad for him. He was a big Xbox fan, and never owned the PS3. Not a very good first impression for him.

Yesterday my "what's new" section was working. I could see my recent activities, the video I posted, etc. Today it's empty. I can't hit the down button or hit the x button on it and have anything happen. Is this tied to the PSN and because of that it's currently not working?

Late last night everything seemed to be behaving itself. Tonight, while I could download updates and demos without issue (and the mechanism is much nicer than on the PS3) none of the 'down arrow' status/extra stuff was working, nor the What's New. Figured it's more server issues.
